After watching episode 2 as well I'm starting to see what the problem with this show is. I thought it was going to be a rotating celeb each week and you don't know if they're guilty, and all we see are the trial aspects to determine their guilt. After the verdict we find out who they really are.

This show is going in a much lamer direction. The 'crimes' they're accused of are so toothless, and everyone so far is an innocent do-gooder besieged by annoying assholes. But if they're all done in one episodes, who cares? Certainly we can milk more from "This week, Lous CK plays an accused date rapist. Is he guilty?" (Verdict: Yes)

The writing is also not very good. I'm convinced that the adage that there is no bad writing, just bad actors, is simply not true. Chiklis is a great actor and he is playing it as if he sincerely believes every thing he has to do. But it's such cliched, hokey NBC sitcom-levels of decisions being made that you can't take it seriously.
